The term "IMViC" is an acronym for each of these tests. "I" is for indole test; "M" is for methyl red test; "V" is for Voges-Proskauer test, and "C" is for citrate test. The lower case "i" is merely for "in" as the Citrate test requires coliform samples to be placed "in Citrate". Triple sugar iron test (TSI), Urease Test and Malonate Test are also included in this test.
For each of the tests, different reagents are added to the species are inoculated and tested.
For Salmonella sp. the IMViC Test result is:
Indole - negative
Methyl red - Positive
Voges-Proskauer - negative
Citrate - positive

- For a cell to survive, ion concentrations inside and outside the cell need to be the same.
- If extra ions are not pumped out of the cell, water can enter the cell, causing it to swell and burst.
Endocrine Signaling
Signals from distant cells are called endocrine signals; they originate from endocrine cells. In the body, many endocrine cells are located in endocrine glands, such as the thyroid gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary gland.
I just looked it up, it's carbon!
<span>A large complement of decomposers rapidly turns dead plant and animal matter into nutrients that are quickly taken up by plants.
Also, some animals live on eating plants, other animals eat those that live on plants, and animals that live on eating other animals die to make nutrients that are eaten by plants; this also, is called an ecological food chain.</span>
